Ostrava vs Slavia Prague Prediction: Visitors expected to get the job done

The Municipal Stadium will serve as the host venue for the round 19 Czech Fortuna Liga encounter between Ostrava and Slavia Prague.

Ostrava - inconsistent

Ostrava is aiming for another victory after their 2-3 success against Hradec Králové in the First League, where Ewerton (7') and Abdullahi Tanko (82', 89') were the goal-scorers. However, despite the win, Ostrava has struggled to demonstrate defensive resilience in recent times, conceding in 5 of their last 6 games and letting in a total of 7 goals.

Looking ahead to their upcoming match, Ostrava faces a challenging record against Slavia Prague, as they haven't won in their last 11 league matches against them.

Slavia Prague - visitors can’t afford to drop points

Slavia Prague enters the upcoming match with confidence following a commanding 4-0 victory over Servette FC in the Europa League. In that game, Slavia Prague had 58% possession and registered 14 shots on goal, with 7 on target. The goal-scorers for Slavia Prague were David Douděra (15'), Ivan Schranz (25'), and Mojmír Chytil (30', 45'). Servette had 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.

Demonstrating their ability to produce goal-filled matches, Slavia Prague has seen a total of 20 goals in their last 6 games, averaging 3.33 goals per fixture. Their opponents managed to score 4 goals during this period.

Looking ahead to the upcoming contest, Slavia Prague boasts an impressive away record against Baník Ostrava, as they haven't been defeated in their last 5 away league games against them.

Expert Betting Tips

This promises to be a challenging match, particularly with Ostrava eyeing European football. Nevertheless, the host's recent performances have been lackluster, raising concerns about their potential in this encounter. Considering Slavia Prague's current impressive form and their determination to maintain a solid position at the top of the standings, I am supporting the visitors to secure a victory in a match that is expected to have a low goal count.
